Last week-end I was at the wedding party of a good old friend in Chengdu.
I masochistically proposed to talk a little bit, and then had to prepare a five minutes intervention in Chinese, in front of a few hundreds hungry sichuanese people.
Tough work. I had to prepare a bit and planned to print my text on cards, but it was far from convenient, as there is no printer at my in-law's house, and the computer is a frightening beast powering IE6 and five hundred blipping icons in the tray.
